What is wish: Definition and 133 Discussions

My daughter's dance studio does a Make a Wish Foundation fundraiser every year. They put on a Christmas special performance to help raise the money. They have a lot of expenses in order to put on the performance, so they try to also raise money in other ways prior to the performance night. So...

Has anyone had success with handing out "holiday" wish lists to their guests? I was thinking along the lines of handing them out to all my November guests. They can fill in their wishlist items along with address for me to send them to. Give them a deadline of December 1st to place their...

What ONE thing would you like to see HO announce at Leadership? Please do not include your product wish list, as that needs its on thread! And let's please keep this to serious (no Brad Pitt visits and what not) BUSINESS related items. Also please don't list trip destinations as we will...

I have noticed that some people are so secretive about their wish list items. Like I am going to use the list against them somehow (maybe blackmail LOL!) Sometimes show closings get held up while the hostess gets her wish list together and forget about getting the wish list from a guest...

Just curious to see what everyone's wishlist items are for the new products. I saw the neatest thing the other day and it was corn grilling basket - it allowed you to put ears of corn in this corn shaped basket for grilling right on the grill. I know they just replaced the tool turn about...

I wish they had a discounted rate for 50 catalogs! I just blew through 25 in two weeks and need to order more but I really don't want to order 100. I'm afraid to have too many left over at the end of the season (yes, I have plenty from the last seasons for booths, etc). I cannot remember...

I'm so nervous! My first show is tonight, and I've had a crazy day already. I'd hoped to watch the training DVD one more time, but I don't think I"m going to be able to. Just going on a wing and a prayer! It's a small show - expecting 6 people - from a good friend, and I'll know several of...

So my friend's aunt has been telling me since the fall/winter catalog was out that she wanted the 10" saute pan, but back then it was only available as part of a set and she didn't want the whole set. When the spring catalog was released, I sent her a message telling her about the pan being...

As I was perusing here, my DS, age three, comes up to me holding the EMPTY Decorator Bottle which had been previously FULL with Pillsbury vanilla frosting!! It seems that he and my DD, age five, split it because they were hungry. Now DS is very sensitive to sugar, so it could get mighty crazy...

So does anyone have a good letter to the bride about how to create a wishlist and what to do, including information on the Gift Registry? I can't seem to find one and thought it would be a good thing to include with the catalog. Thanks!:thumbup:

What are you looking for that you haven't been able to find through Merrill, or the Booster, Directly from the Heart, etc? As long as I am trying to come up with some new ideas, I figured I'd find out what others need first! Stickers, labels, postcards, clothing?? And what do you want it...

I was at a training session today, and the director suggested that instead of directing the bride to the web site, that we provide her with a "wish list" and have her draw a line through the items she DOESN'T want, and put a number next to items she wants more than one of. She thinks brides will...

I've had several of my customers ask if it was possible for them to create wishlists through my website...even if they aren't (currently) hosts. I, personally, think this is a great idea. It would be another way for me to follow up with future hosts/guests with their wishlist...is anyone else...

I know there are tons of items that kids can use, but I wish they had things specifically for kids (smaller, lighter, a little less expensive, etc).I think kids being in the kitchen is so important and would love to help other families start doing it more often.That's it - just sharing a thought...

I have a bridal shower this weekend and need wish list pics with prices. I found some wonderful ones in the files here. Does anyone have the new pics with prices that compare to the ones already done on here (8 or 10 to a page). I searched but didn't find them posted anywhere yet. TIA

I had a customer ask me if I had a wish list she could fill out and give to her husband so he could easily buy her Christmas gift with out her knowing exactly what was she getting. I haven't used anything like this, but I assume she creates her holiday wish list, gives it DH and then he calls...
